Should I prepare an invoice from the 1st of April based on a 14% service tax or 12.36% tax? As per the new budget, it is heard that the rate of service tax is going to be changed, but I have not received any circular. Please help me regarding this matter.

The rate change is not yet effective. The finance bill has to be passed and then a date will be notified for the change in tax rate. Currently you may continue using the same rate of 12.36%.

The new rate of service tax is not effective from April 1. The date of applicability of the new rate shall be informed after the passing of the Finance Bill by the Parliament. As of now, the rate of service tax is 12.36% only.

“ The new Service Tax rate shall come into effect from a date to be notified by the Central Government after the enactment of the Finance Bill, 2015.”
